Giant deckchair, Bournemouth, UK
The seaside city has just been crowned 'best beach destination' by TripAdvisor in the UK, so perhaps it's apt that is now home to the world's largest deckchair, which weighs more than an adult elephant. According to artist Stuart Murdoch who created the 8.5 metre-high structure, it puts a smile on the face of everyone who saw it. He spent three weeks putting it together and it is "quintessentially British".

Hi, the Shiva Murti  looks impressive. I will add it to my travel list. I personally, explored European beaches the most. There is also nice sculpture in Kitroplatia. 
To be honest, I completely do not understand that as the beaches are beautiful themselves, why someone wants to add all those weird forms there? I guess, it must be an art:)
